I make myself sick...

We went out for dinner last night and instead of my usual chicken breast with goat cheese and rice..I ended up going with this:

Clearly I dove right in and started eating before I thought to take a picture of the yumminess

It was so good and so bad at the same time. Pulled pork poutine and the spinach and cheese dip. The problem was that by the time we got ready to go out for dinner it was later than normal and I was starving. I went with my cravings (carbs and cheese) rather than the what would make the most sense for refueling my body.

I don't regret it though. Everyone deserves a cheat meal and I have been pretty good all week! For the last few weeks excess sugar has been cut and I am doing well with getting to the gym, so I am not going to beat myself up over a deliciously carbo-licious meal. SO YUMMY!!

This week has been pretty good!! Tuesday was chest and back and then Wednesday was shoulders/bi/tri. I have decided to go back to my normal shoulder routine. A couple weeks ago I found a shoulders routine online for age-defying delts.

It looked interesting but I could NOT figure out how to do the various moves in the lateral raise gigantic set. I even had others at the gym helping me out (this is the plus of being super social during gym time...lots of helpers) and we could not make sense of this set. So Wednesday was a bit of mish mosh of me trying to figure out what the hell I was doing and then just giving up and going back to my regular routine. I'm still going to try to switch it up again, but for now I might just rotate in and out a few favorite moves and not go for a whole new routine switch up.

This morning I was going to go run on the treadmill, ride the bike and do some rowing (cardio day!) but decided at 430 AM that I just needed to sleep. Unfortunately with all the holding of weights the Raynauds has flared on my left hand and my two fingers are swollen and are killing me. Taking a day off won't hurt and tomorrow I am back at with more legs, adding in some shoulders (to make up for Wednesdays craziness) and then some cardio as well. I may aim to wake at 4 to get there for 4:30 to fit it all in.
